Fifty-five percent think increasing taxes on any Americans will slow the economy and kill jobs. On the other hand, 40 percent believe those tax cuts should be cancelled for higher-income Americans.From a purely rhetorical perspective, how in the hell is President Obama losing this fight on tax cuts?
Only 14 percent of those surveyed believe that the government’s policies dealing with the recession are helping them, while 56 percent say the policies are aiding banks.
A clear majority of Americans, 55 percent, believe that the president’s economic plans have made things worse, running up the deficit without ending the recession or creating new jobs.
Allowing tax cuts to expire on "the rich" should be an easy sell. We are plunging deeper into debt. Shouldn't the American people be primed once again for a 'soak the rich' argument?
Fortunately, we've become smarter than that.
Voter seem to have had enough.
And with studies like this one done by the Heritage Foundation, it's no wonder.
I find it amazing the way that the ultra rich will manipulate the stats to get their point across. The bottom line is that unless you are making half a million dollars or more a year, your taxes will not go up when the bush tax cuts are repealed. A few weeks ago you linked a website to show what your taxes would be after the cuts expire. You painted it as doom and gloom, when in reality anyone who makes less that 50 grand a year will actually have LESS taken out. I pointed out the fact that I would get a raise by this, and you snarkily stated that my employer would leave because of his tax burden and business being down. I pointed out that we were up 10% across the board, and you never responded to that one....I guess that it was because it didnt play into your narrative.
